CommentsSouthern California Edison (SCE), a California-based electric service provider, has recycled its one millionth refrigerator, the first utility to reach that milestone, MarketWatch reported.
Through its recycling efforts, SCE, one of the founding partners of U.S. EPA's Responsibly Appliance Disposal Program, has offset about 3.9 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions, according to the article.
SCE's recycling program offers participants $35 and free pickup for their old, working refrigerators and freezers.
"The credit for this milestone goes to our customers for their enthusiastic participation," Gene Rodrigues, SCE director of Energy Efficiency and Customer Solar, said in the article. "SCE's energy efficiency programs are crucial to the success of California's ambitious environmental goals."
